Please put it the way they’ve done ‘differently abled’, this is the right word for those special people. With the work PTI has done in every field for last one year or so, I think they would have had landmark success in any country where people use their brains instead of family, friend affiliations. I hope people of Pakistan opened their eyes and vote for them. Great great effort by PTI.

The world of Pakistanis has no room for differently abled people. See our buildings, our services, parking spaces, bathrooms in public places and everywhere; it seems we don’t have people who are differently abled.

Very nice to hear this. Regardless,all pakistanis please its time to realize imran is the ideal and only man right now for pakistan. Forget about all the other parties and i really mean all of them. Vote for him and wait and watch. You will never regret

For all the people here “wishing” about PTI to come to power and again “wishing” that people of Pakistan “sense the change” or “open their eyes” to support it – It is yours (mine) responsibility to urge people to go vote for PTI. IK did what he could – he showed us the plans, he showed us the will & courage to challenge the status quo – but now the responsibility lies with us, each one of us, to help others (not-so-educated-majority of Pakistan) understand the meaning of this change and convince them to stand up for it and vote for it.

@Queen: you must know that only PML-N in Punjab is giving opportunity to deaf and disabled peoples here … in other provinces you can’t hear anything for deaf and disabled peoples … you must know that i am a deaf person and i better know than you that PML-N is much favouring party for disabled peoples … they have put events in recently ended Punjab International Your Festival … VIP treatment for deaf peoples … Indian Deaf Team was invited by me under Pakistan Deaf Sports Association and Punjab Deaf Sports Association … you could debit with me anytime at facebook … do contact with me if you have dare :)
